Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, June 6, 1928

June 6th, 1928. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Missouri, Room 110 New Chemistry Bldg. Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: In going through my desk I come across the reports which you sent us after your trip to Hew York, and it occurs to me that it would be a very wise move on our part to put on record data relative to the sensitiveness of the tests as conducted by you and Dr. Flinn. This may be very valuable at a future time, for we are not at all assured that we may not yet have to fight this matter out in Court. It seems to me as though the principal points of your notes entitled II Experimental Determination of the Radium Present in Living Persons ". and Miscellaneous Experiments Conducted in Dr. Flinn's laboratory,April 25th,1928", with some amplification could be incorporated into a very creditable publication. I em going to discuss this matter with Dr. Flinn the first time I see him, and in the meantime would be glad to have you give the matter consideration, and advice as to any ideas you may have regarding same. The opposition were apparently somewhat alarmed at the fact that our tests were negative for we had rumors that they had devised new and more sensitive tests than those originally reported. These tests were supposed to have been conducted unimown to anyone, but as most all other informa- tion became public property in this case, so did this. We were advised that their tests consisted of placing a zine sulphide screen in such a manner ae that the expired air came in contact with same. The report current is to the effect that there were continuous flashes produced under these conditions. This test rather appeals to me as being quite logical and one which we should investigate the merits of. with kind regards, I am Cordially yours, HHBarker: RH Vice Presia
